It was very fast all the way through. The field was loaded. According to milesplit, 32 girls came in with sub-18 times. Cold, and a little muddy at the start, but the same course. Luckily, the ground had frozen some overnight.

Did every girl set a pr for 5000m? I knew it was fast but wow?

2012 RESULTS

A very good run by Alcorta.

Heart-breaking for Montgomery, though. She ran 33 second better than last year when she was 15th and only moved up four spots.

Kayla Montgomery was 11th. Make sure to check out Doug Binder's profile on her http://www.dyestat.c...at-Thanksgiving
